Why I like ShinoHina

Obviously I like Shino and Hinata together for all the normal reasons: they’re both quiet, they like nature, Shino’s always respected Hinata, Hinata doesn’t treat Shino like a heartless automaton, etc.

But what I really, really like about this pairing is how Hinata gets to be the dominant partner for once. She’s the one who convinces Shino to trust in others, who says he’s strong enough to be part of the team even if he’s not perfect. She’s the one who explains Shino’s quirks to others and defends him when Kiba’s acting confrontational. Best of all, she’s the physically stronger one, and Shino is completely 100% cool with that (unlike a certain Uchiha, who glared daggers at poor Sakura when she climbed the tree faster than him.).

I love the idea of the sweetest kunoichi in Konoha ending up with one of the most intimidating ninja in the village. 

I love the idea of her explaining to all her friends, “No, he treats me well. Actually, he’s kind of clingy.”. 

I love the thought of Shino glaring daggers at the Hokage during all the staff meetings because he never forgives Naruto for breaking Hinata’s heart.

I love, love, love the idea of Shino telling Hiashi off in his oh-so-blunt way, declaring that the Hyuuga don’t deserve Hinata, and then whisking her off to the Aburame compound. (Because Hinata has almost died three times in the manga, and every time, Hiashi is so concerned about Neji that he doesn’t spare his daughter a single thought.)

I love everything about this couple, even though I know it has almost 0% chance of becoming canon. Kishimoto will raise Neji from the dead before he gives Shino a chance at love.
